A shabby soup restaurant on the outskirts of the city.
Breaking news is playing on the cathode ray tube TV, which is as old as the store.
-An unbelievable incident occurred in which one employee stole 180 billion won from the company. This incident that occurred at KN Chemical is the largest embezzlement case ever… … The police are putting all their efforts into securing the new employee, Mr. Shin.
180 billion won.
It is an enormous amount of money that the common people will not even be able to see in their lifetime. Perhaps because of this, the eyes of the store customers who were eating soup naturally return to the TV.
“How could the company not know until it stole 180 billion won? Does that make sense?”
“There must be an accomplice inside Bona Mana.”
“The culprit must be caught quickly to recover the money… … .”
“What kind of payback is it? They must have turned it all into gold by now and buried it in the hills, right? If that guy goes in and out of bread for a while, he will live his whole life trembling.”
“In this country, only those who live faithfully are fools.”
If it was usual, I might have intervened in the conversation and helped out with a word. But now, he lowers his head and concentrates on emptying the bowl in silence.
It had to be.
Because I was the culprit of the 180 billion won embezzlement case that just came out on the news.
